    It was ever thus:

    A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

        See, even quotes with errors in them get upvoted before someone can come along and correct them :)

          Ah, so one of those clever case-in-point lemmy comments. Very clever. Your plan was masterful

            Nah, even my retcon explanation is a lie. I copied the quote from some famous quote website and didn’t catch the error.
